nekid_spike</lj> : Lilah, Barry Manilow CD, haunted castle
( Read more... )
Lilah Morgan strode through the castle’s old halls and corridors until she reached the dungeons. She unlocked the heavy door and stepped inside a small, dark room.
“Has he answered our questions yet?” She asked a bulky man with a bullwhip in his hand. He just shook his head and left the room.
Lilah sighed and turned her attention to the bruised and bloodied body that hung from the ceiling. “I heard that you’re still refusing to cooperate, William.”
The vampire slowly, wearily raised his head and met her gaze. “It’s Spike. The soul doesn’t change that.”
The lawyer just shrugged. “What should I do with you? It’s been five weeks, and I’m really not that patient.”
“Sod off,” came the cocky response.
Lilah silently let her gaze wander across the vampire’s body, studying each cut, burn, welt and laceration with a satisfied, cruel smile. “You know, we’ve really tried everything.”
Spike glared at her. “You’re pathetic. You could learn a thing or two about torture from Angel – whose soul, by the way, is none of your business.” He coughed, spitting blood. “So fuck off.”
Lilah didn’t seem to be affected by his confident speech. “You know, Spike,” she said, smiling, “I lied a bit. We haven’t tried everything yet. And if you tell us what we want to know, you’ll spare yourself a whole world of pain.”
Spike didn’t even bother answering her.
She shrugged. “Okay, we’ll do it the hard way.” With that, she pulled a small object out of her purse.
Spike’s eyes widened in horror.
Lilah smiled triumphantly and put the Barry Manillow CD into a CD player. “You know, maybe I learned something from Mr. Angel after all...”
